Doctopus vs Foxy Labels - Label Maker for Avery & Co

Doctopus gives teachers the ability to mass-copy (from a starter template), share, monitor student progress, and manage grading and feedback for student projects in Google Drive™. Its tentacles copy and "hand out" Drive files to a roster of students, giving teachers full control over starter template, sharing configuration, folder organization and file naming, as well as visibility over all work in progress -- including the ability to bulk revoke and revert student editing rights around submission deadlines, as well the ability to fetch word, revision, and comment counts on all student files. Created by veteran science teacher and school administrator Andrew Stillman, Doctopus is built with teacher workflow in mind -- taming complexity and unlocking the power of Google Apps for differentiation and collaborative projects. Doctopus increases student collaboration and enables a powerful shift in teacher workflow -- scaling teachers' ability to manage and assess writing tasks and projects that motivate rich, authentic student production and collaboration (e.g. the development of core career, college, and 21st-century skills). The Goobric Chrome extension works alongside Doctopus to enable rubric-based grading of Google Docs™ right in a browser popup window using the rubric of your design. Once a rubric score is submitted, Goobric auto-records scores in your spreadsheet and automatically provides students instant rubric scores and comments via email. Heck, if it's a Google Document™, Goobric even pastes the filled out rubric into the bottom of the Doc.

Finally there is no need to use Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx) or Microsoft Excel (.xls, .xslx) to merge Avery® labels. Foxy Labels replaces legacy programs of printing labels from Microsoft Mail Merge (also known as MS mail merge, MS Word mail merge, MS Word's "envelopes & labels," MS wizard, Mail merge Excel), Libre Office, Pages and Numbers. Foxy Labels is natively integrated into Workspace (G Suite). This allows users to mail merge from Google Docs™, Google Spreadsheet™, Google Drive™, Chromebooks instead of mail merging from Excel or Word. Before Foxy Labels, there used to be a free label merge add-on called « Avery Label merge » or « Avery Easy Merge ». This add-on was discontinued by Avery®. ✨ REVIEWS In the old days, I'd use a Word to try and line up my labels. I could usually get the first one right, but then invariably they would go off track marginally and half the page would be wasted. The Foxy Labels app eliminates that frustration and works every time. The guesswork of font size and margins was fixed as well. Foxy Labels is the best Avery label maker out there! -Ryan Johnson This is a good program and it's pretty easy to use for printing Avery labels. Some features are not there that I would have personally liked, such as the ability to create custom templates, which I would imagine would be difficult to implement, and if you try to create a table within the individual tags it will not allow you to put the destination fields into that table, which is annoying but not the end of the world. Despite the minor flaws that it does have, I like using this application and would recommend it to others if they were in need of a program to do it. I have yet to purchase the paid version, but it seems well worth the money one would spend on a label maker. -Lisa Kim I found this amazing little label maker while looking for a way to print student computer log-in cards at my school. Integrating a Google Sheet with Google Docs and this add-on and using the 2"x4" Avery Labels is the perfect size for log-in cards for elementary students. It's so much quicker than handwriting them all out or trying to use MS Word to mail-merge labels. What once was an arduous task is now a 5 minute, few click process. I appreciate how helpful this little add-on is. - Kyle Wright 🆘 SUPPORT Please visit https://foxylabels.com/support/ PRIVACY By design, your data stays at all times on your Google™ account.
